- How about the Bengali writers who wrote in Sanskrit? Jayadeva for example?
- Such richness in sanskrit poetry is rarely seen elsewhere. I would certainly
- count them in, since writing in Sanskrit was in vogue at that time. ( Like
- writing in persian later - Raja Rammohan Roy for example) Besides, aren't
- we concerned with the literary contributions of the Bengali society as a
- whole instead of just the contributions in Bengali language alone??
